This Company has been formed for the construction of a Railway from Douglas to Peel (passing through St. John's), in the Isle of Man. The improved trade of these important townie as well as the prosperous condition and increasing population of the island, and the rapid augmentation of the number of visitors during late years, call for the immediate introduction of railways. The Agricultural capabilities of the Island are great; and its Mineral products are acknowledged to bo rich in yield and avjve average value ; whilst around the Coast there are extensive Fisheries, and an unlimited supply of Sea weed for Manure. The expense and trouble, however, of land-carriage, have hitherto rendered these advantages com paratively unavailable. Slate Quarries are in active operation; and the quality of the Slate is equal in closeness of grain and durability to any produced from the great Welsh quarries. The Granite near St. John's compares favourably with that now used in the Liverpool Dock Works, and would at once, by means of railway facilities, become available for export. One of the proposed Stations on the line will be at St. Joh4's, where the Courts of Tynwald meet, and which is also the centre of the Foxdale mining district. The produce of these mines is now brought by land-carriage (there being no water communication) to Douglas, a distance of neatly ten miles, whilst Coals and other important materials, as well as ail necessaries required by the inland population, are conveyed into the interior by the same mode. Besides these items of traffic, the Fairs, which are frequently held during the year in this district, must add considerably to the annual revenue of the Company. The principal towns are Douglas, Peel, C a stl e t own , Ramsey, a n d L axey : D ouglas being the chief port, and the great commercial depot, as well as the principal place of arrival and departure of the steam packets plying to and from the Island. At the port of Peel the fisheries are prin cipally conducted, employing upwards of 1,000 vessels; the place of destination for the produce is Douglas ; the route is tedious, and the transit by the existing means ex pensive. Tne access to the Island is easy, and the means of corn • munication with Liverpool, Fleetwood, Whitehaven, Silloth, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, and other ports, both by sailing and steam vessels, are frequent and convenient. Hence, Tourists visit the Island in large numbers, above 100,000 pa ssengers h av i ng been landed at its Ports during the past year. Such Visitors, attracted by the antiquarian relics, scenery, and other objects of interest, would, as a matter of course, go by the proposed Railway from Douglas to the interior, and across the Island to Peel. The highest medical authorities bear testimony to the salubrity of the climate and purity of the water. The picturesque is united with the more solid advantage of cheap living, provisions being abundant and comparatively inex• pensive, whilst the rates of duties on foreign produce are so small as to render the Island most advantageous as a per inanent place of residence. Her Majesty's Government and the Local Authorities are now expending upwards of £60,000, for the improvement of the Ports of Douglas and Peel. The Electric Telegraph to England has been recently established. The Lines of Rail will be single, with requisite sidings. The length of Line will be about twelve miles, and the gradients easy throughout. The landowners and popula tion along it are most favourable to the project. From Statistics recently collected on the spot, with much care, by competent persons, and well supported by Official Returns, it is confidently expected that the Traffic via re turn a good Dividend upon the Invested Capital. The fol. lowing is an Estimate of the Traffic : Passengers, inclusive of Tourists.. Goods, Minerals, Fish, &c 6,500 Parcels and Mails 4150 Working Expen ses a t even 60 per Cent. 13 6,,500 Leaving for Dividend £6,6bo Plans, Sections, &c., of the Line are completed, and all necessary forms are being complied with, in aocordance with the St: nding Orders of the Court of Tynwald to obtain an Act of the Local Parliament. Neither Imperial or Local Taxes are levied in the Island, and those heavy charges which tend so much to reduce the value of Railway property in England and other countries, no less than to diminish the Shareholders' Dividends, can not, in any degree whatever, prevail with respect to this Lino. An eminent Contractor's firm have agreed to purchase the land make the Railway, provide and fit up all Stations, furnish Rolling Stock for working the Line, and Telegraphs, upon sati sfactory terms . Interest at 6 p er cen t. p er A nn um will be allowed, unt il t h e opening of the Line, on the amount paid upon share.. Au advantageous arrangement can be made with respon sible parties to Leese the Line for 7. 14, or 21 years. the Forms of Applicatio n f or Sh ares may be obtained from Secretary, Solicitors, or Brokers of the Company.

Although the system of jo'nt-stock banking hasb±en esta blished to meet the requirements of most dep , rtmenta of trade, it hss not been Intro - Neel tor the business of the Agricultural and t attl-markets of the metropolis; and though the Npulation has doubled within the last twenty five years—and consequently the necessary q fantity of sup plies yet the whole business, amounting foiitteen to twenty millions per annum, is left in the hands of a few private firms. The Albion Bank is introduced to rrovide increased facilities for this trade, by establishing an affix, in the City, as well as at Smithfield and the Mefropolitan watt e-market ; and subsequently, shou'd it be found desirable, by opening branches in she agricult,ral districts. The value of the rapidly-increasing commission business to be trans icted by the Albion Bank can be readily appre ciated by a k no sledge that the method in which deallags are carried ou at the Cat le-market constitutes the balk, the de po-itory of all the moneys passing from the buyer to the prodticer. The Metropolit n Meat or Poultry-market in Smithfield, now in cours of erection, is destined, by the terms of the act of Parliament, to combine and suftersede all other markets for meat in the m-tropolis. To this market will be concen trate • all transactions for the supply of butiners' meat, pou try, and other pr Awe to the inhkbitants of the metro polis, and a circle of 14 miles round it. - The idrect at s have entered into provisional arrangements by which the advantage of c mmencing up In an e‘tabl shed connexion, under competent and experienced manageme t, will be secured to Shareholders it In the o immence mebt of business, by which they are warranted in expect ing that they wl 1 be enabled to declare a dividend during the first sear. That 'Amber of Joint-Stock Banks m ybe advantageous'y increased (more p r•icularly u..d. r special circumstance, such as have , ed to the formation of the Albion Bank), is de monstrated by the f act that so late as six ye r i ago, when the number of Joint Stock Bank In London was n t more than six, their total deposits did not ex :eed £22,070,000; while now that the number of these ban a has been doubled, the join , deposits are ad eady more than ireb el, amoun ing to a total of .£71,:92,3C0. Tne dividends of the older banks range from 15 to 30 per cent. in Accontance with the dates of their f staba hmtnt ; and the premiums en their shares are from 203 to 3CO er cent. in a precisely smi ar ratio. u•The der °sits and divicends of th Joint-Stock B Anita recent y formed show a rai id progress towards identic .1 results. Should no al otment take plat .! the deposits will be returned !LI full. jhou'd a less number of Shares be a 1 itted th in are applied for, the deposit w.ll be made available towards the p ywent on , llotinent, and the bs ante, if any, returned to the aoplio ii,Pifeatien for Shares in the annexed form may be ad. dressed to the Bankers, Broker?, or Directors of the Com• pany, and to the Ste . et •ry, at the Offt e 5 of he Company.

PROSPECTUS. Liverpool is the port through which the vast passenzer traffic which exists between this country, America, the West Indies, and Canada passes. It is obvious, therefore, that first-rate Hotel aooommoda tion is not only desirable, but absolutely necessary; and to supply that requirement the Washington Hotel was built within the last two years. It has been designed and fitted uo on the model of the great American and Continental Hotels, replete with all the comfort, convenience, and luxury which modern taste can suggest. The Hotel is situate in Lime-street, apposite the principal railway terminus, on one of the finest sites in the town. It contains about 200 rooms, furnished in the best style. Under the Hotel have been formed ice wells, capable of storing about 3.1)00 tons of ice. These are the only public ice wells in Liverpool, and from their position can supply the whole town. T A. he Company has arranged to purchase the lease of the Washington Hotel. together with the goodwill, stock in trade, furniture, and fittings. The ice wells, which are included in the purchase, are now full, and from that source alone the Directors expect that a dividend of 5 per cent. on the capital will be realised. It is intended that the establishment in Liverpool shall be the principal Hotel, and that it shall co-operate with other existing hotels in London, Manchester, and other large towns in the United Kingdom, and also in America. As the Hotel is now in full operation, and making large returns, the delay occasioned by the erection of premises, and acquiring a business, will be avoided. The Company will take immediate possession of the pre mie es, and enter at once upon the business, consequentl y re turns will be made forthwith, and the Directors believe that they are not over-estimating the profits when they anticipate large dividends for the shareholders. 'I here will be no promotion money, and th' preliminary expenses will be restricted to the amount actually incurred. If no allotment be made to an applicant, the deposit wi I be returned in full ; and if a less numb rot shares be allottel than are applied for, the balance of such deposit wid be cre dited towards the payment on a lotment.

The object of this Company is to purchase and extend the well-known and Puce s ul business carried on by the Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), at Black wall. The Thames Iron Works and Ship-building Company (Limited), was established in the year Mr, and has now attained the foremost position in the construction of vessels of war and ships of the highest class for the commercial marine. The iron for these vessels, and for their armour plates, is manufactured on the premises, together with forg- Inge and castings of the largest' class for marine engines, bridges, and other similar works. The rolling mills, steam hammers, foundries, smiths' shops, saw mills, &c., are all of the best class and in the highest state of efficiency, forming together an establishment unequalled. Three of the largest iron-clad frigates in the British navy —the Warrior, Valiant, and Minotaur—have been built by the Thames Ship-building Company, and orders have been received for iron-clad vessels for the Danish, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish navies, some of which are now in course of construction. It has been determined to add to the existing business of the Comp in two other lucrative branche s , name .y, G rav i ng Docks and Engineering, which are naturally and essentially connected with its present operations. For this purpose, as well as for the large and increasing business of the Com pany, a considerable extension of capital will be required as the works advance ' • and in order to carry out the obj e ct s i n view, it is proposed to transfer to the new Company (subject to payment of the dividend for the past year) the whole of the valuable contracts, asses, goodwill, and effects of the Thames Iron Works Company, together with its liabilities and engacements, as from the Ist of January, 1864, in consi deration 2f the payment to the Thames Iron Works Company of the sum of £275,000, of which the Shareholders in that Company will take £llO,OOO in fully paid-up Shares, and £125.000 in Debentures of the new Company, bearing interest at a per cent. per annum. The property of the Company consists of twenty acres of freehold land on the Essex side of the River Lea, next Black wall, and the premises and branch works known as the Pheenix Iron Works, together with the valuable plant and works. - It is proposed to construct two graving docks capablr of re ceiving ships of the largest class, for which the accommoda tion on the Rive* Thames is at present insufficient. For this purpose it is intended to purchase eight acres of freeho d land immediately adjoining the works, having a frontage both to Bow Creek and toe River Thames, which I.nd is, at pre sent. in the occupation of the Company, with the option of purchase. '1 he proposed new graving docks will be in the immediate vicinity of the E , st and West India and Victoria Docks ; and it is confidently anticipated that from their admirable situa tion constant and remunerative employment for repairs, both of ships and engines, wi 1 be found. The existing contracts of Bit Thames Iron Works Com pany, which will be transferred to the new Company, amount co upwards of a million and a quarter sterling (independently of the work in hand for the forge and rolling mills), and have all been taken on such term.; as fairly to justify the anticipa tion of the earns T rofltab'e results which have already at tended the (7otrpany's operations. All the Directors of the old Company will retain their in terest in the new Company, anti their seats at its Board, and the management wi 1 remain in the same experienced hinds which have hitherto conducted it so suocessfulty, and raised it to its present state of ptosperity.

The wisdom of this division of operations has been fully realised by the Credit Fonder for Great Britain and Ireland, which, sines its establishment, hits found the offers of busi ness, both of a Land Credit as well as of a general Financial character, so large, as to necessitate the formation of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), to undertake such financial opera tions as the Credit Fonder, with due regard to its special ob jects, cannot legitimately carry out.

The extreme severity of tbo weather appears during the last four days to have impeded military operations in every quarter except in Florida. General Grant has not been heard of during the week, and the positions of Langstreet and Joseph Johnston aro surmised but not known. Ru mours continue to be abundant, but the facts that might support them are vaguer end more shadowy than themselves and will not bear scrutiny. Many people in high position are of opinion that General Grant has taken the initiative in a movement that will either mike him the greatest soldier of his time or consign him to the limbo of the numberless dead reputations of the war, which no power can revive, and no galvanism startle into even the semblance of activity. A much larger class are under the impression that a new invasion of North ern soil will be attempted by General Lee as soon as the weather shall permit—the scene of operation this time to be Kentucky and Ohio, instead of Maryland and Pennsylvania. But if warlike operations offer no point of pre sent interest, the state of political affairs is suggest ive of coming danger. Whatever may be the case in other portions of the Federal states, there is no enthusiasm in New York, city or State, for the re election of Mr. Lincoln. The jobbers, broken', and gamblers of Wall-street, and the contractors who wax rich and insolent on the profits wrung out of the needs of the army and the carelessness of the Administration, are the only persons who seem very earnestly to desire a prolongation of his term. The mass of the people are indifferent, mainly for the reason that they think any agitation of the subject will be premature during the next two or three months. Mr. Simeon Draper, ex-Provost. Marshal, convenes meetings in support of his favourite candidate, but cannot, by all the art of advertising, draw 50 people together to Hope Chapel to bear any eloquence of which the themes are the virtues and the patriotism of the President. The clergy are shy of supporting his claims, and even Mr. Henry Ward Beecher deprecates the nomination of any one at present, on the ground that there is as yet HO candidate before the public whose name is a tower of strength to rally around it the heart and the judgment of the people. Mr. Wendell Phillips thinks Mr. Lincoln pretty good as far as he goes, but by no means good enough, and hints that if he be re-elected it will not be be cause he is the best man to be found, but simply because at some unexpected turn of events lie may prove to b 3 the most convenient. "The error of our politics," said he, in recognition of a fact that has long been known to every foreign observer of American history, though it was never very gene rally recognised in America, " is that we take the available man always instead of taking the best. The available man is the last convert to our opinions —the man who is not so obnoxious to our enemies that they hate him, and one that we ourselves can forgive. What is the result ? The bias of his old opinions we do not know, but they will always influence him, and the consequence is the man is trusted before he is known, and be always deceives you." If the opinions of the press of this city can be taken as an index to the public sentiment, Mr. Lincoln must be placed among the most unpopular of all the candidates. The Herald mocks and gibes at him. The Daily News denounces him with sound arguments and literary. diAnity. The World ardently supports General M'Clellan. The New York Times hesitates to recommend anybody, lease of all Mr. Lincoln. The Tribune, which did more to make him President by defeating Mr. Seward's nomina• tion at the Chicago Convention in 18G0 than a hun dred thousand voters could have done, cautiously refrains from saying a word in his favour. The Journal of COMMerCC is openly hostile. The Express, like the World, is strong for M'Clellan, The Evening Post, the editor of which derives large emoluments from an office in the Navy Yard, to which he was appointed by the present Administration, has not yet mustered courage enough to support his patron to any greater extent than to collect into one focus all the presentable and printable jokes which aro attributed to him, and publish them for the amusement of the people, that they may know what kind a genius they have chosen to rule over them. This, however, is an electioneering device which may possibly do more harm than good to the cause it was intended to promote. The only other daily paper of any note is the New Yorker Stoat Zeitung, printed for the Germans, and which is said to have a circulation of about 40,000. This journal advocates the pretensions of Gen. Fremont, as far superior to those of any other candidate. The Irish have no daily paper exclusively devoted to their interests, but the weekly Roman Catholic journals, which more particularly address themselves to foster Irish sentiment, are all in favour of Al'Clellan. But Mr. Lincoln, like all Americans, knows too well how easily the New York press can be managed by the wire-pullers of party to give himself much, if any, trouble on the score of its present hostility or indifference. His plan—or that of the persons who would prolong their own power and importance by prolonging hie—is not so much political as military. He would prefer reelection by the vote of a clear majority of the people, peaceably ren dered, if such a result were possible ; but as this is not likely, whether the fortune of war be favour able, the plan is, as I believe I have already men tioned, to favour the nomination of many candidates, so as to split up the popular vote and throw the election into the House of Representatives. As in such a case the representatives would vote by States, and as Mr. Lincoln has already a majority in the House, it will, make assurance doubly sure if he can add to the number of States by the means de scribed in his recent proclamation. It is for this purpose that General Banks is hectoring in Loui siana and declaring " indifference to be a crime.' It is for this purpose that a military expedition has been sent to take possession of Florida— a point of no military value ; and it is for this purpcse alone that Arkansas and Tennessee have sent or will send representatives to Congress on behalf of that decimal minority of " loyal " people —to whom Mr. Lincoln, without any authority bat such as he derives from the war power, has deputed the privilege of electing Stare officers and representatives. With the same end in view it is suggested, although Congress has but 16 days longer to sit, that the outlying territories of Nebraska, Idaho, and others, and even the Mormon Paradise of Utah, should bo formally admitted 18 States of the Union before the adjournment, nut the Americans are not so wholly absorbed by the passion of war or the greed of gain as not to be aware that this is a dangerous game, and that, as Mr. Lincoln's election produced one secession and ono civil war, his re-election by means like these may produce a second secession in the North or West, and a second civil war as sanguinary as the first. A Republican representative, Air. Winter Davis, of Maryland, and not long ago a strenuous supporter of tho Administration, has already sounded the alarm. In Opposing the right of a newly-elected re presentative of the Third Congres sional district of Arkansas to take his seat in the House, on the ground that his election was illegal and unconstitutional, he took the position that there could be no civil government in a State that hsd seceded; at least, ❑o civil government that the Pre sident of the United States could recognise; and, consequently, that no representative of such a State could be deputed to or sit in Congress. He de nounced at the same time the appointment of mili tary Governors in portionsof seceded States, charged with the duty of influencing, regulating, and con trolling elections by the intermediation of a minority, called the President's Proclamatien of Amnesty, from which the supposed right was de rived, a piece of waste paper, and manifested so bitter a spirit of hostility to Mr. Lincola'o protensions as to THE MURDER FOURTEEN YEARS Amo.—The ex traordinary charge upon which a tradesman named Weekly Ball has been committed for trial is Northampton shire for murdering a woman named Lydia Atlec 14 years ago has been already reported in The Sun. The charge was based upon the discovery of a skeleton in a lane near the village of Ringstead, the suppose d . scene of the murder. A woman, but a ditn. missing tooth was the link by which . it was sought to id entify was that no bones of an in yskienlettehen woeuyn font were found, a s would he expected from the condition of Lydia Atli eo at tho time of her death. It was suggested the sk in o d f u thi t s ha th t e o o f r t y he 11112841 g in one of the local n ewsp.apers that possibly a further search it the same spot might• disclose the remains of an infant. While acting upon this suggestion the police on Friday evening made a,dir.icovery which was totally unexpected by them. About 18 inches below where the skeleton of the supposed murdered w oman was f oun d another skeleton was discovered. The position of this skeleton was, as nearly as possible, foot to foot to the skeleton previously found, only 18 inches deeper in the so il . The teeth were in a perfect state of pre servation. Mr. Lea° was sent for immediately, awl, on ex amination of the skeleton, pronounced it to be that of a man about six feat in height, but, singularly enough, the bones appeared to have been in the ground much longer than the bozos previously found. In connection with this latter dis covery it may be stated that an old man named Williamson, 90 years of age, has frequently stated that a gipey war buried near that spot many years ago, and, indeed, the place seems to have been a gipsy's burial-ground. The bones of the skeletons are now in the possession of the police.

Michell, Magdalen, Oxford .. C. Bill, University, Oxford.. After one false start the winner got well off, the winner taking every hurdle in beautiful style, Mr. Bill being well up for half the distance, where the second and third got by him, Mr. Daniel won with comparative ease in 171 seconds. Two yards between the second and third, HURDLE RACE, 200 yards over 10 flights. E. Wynne Finch, Trinity, Cambridge A. W. Daniel, Trinity, Cambridge H.

It was a beautiful race, and run in 261 seconds. LONG JUMr, F. H. Gooch, Merton, Oxford, lBft 1 C. Booth, Trinity, Cambridge, 17ft 4} W. Wright, Trinity, Cambridge T. Davenport, Pembroke, Cambridge .... 0 The ground was very slippery. Booth fell and hurt his arm at the first jump, and also ticked his foot, so that his performance was no criterion of his capabilities, as he did 18ft Shin at Cambridge last week. ONE MILE FLAT RACE. C. B. Lawes, Trinity, Cambridge .. 1 A. H, Ilannam, Merton, Oxford G. B. Streoten, Queen's, Oxford * 0 p. M. Thornton, Jesus, Cambridge j, S. Warman, Balliol, Oxford .. 0 S. Slocock, Jesus, Cambridge, did not go to the post. Ilannam, who was the favourite with the Oxonians, took the load, but soon resigned it to Thornton, who, being un well, made the running for his fellow competitor, He did not, however, go quick enough for Lawes, who took up the pare about half-way in the first lap, and Hannan' was second, about three yards in the rear, evidently making a waiting race of it. They went the second and third round in the same positions, Thornton keeping well up, and about half way in the last round ho aided his leader by spurting up to and pass ing Ilannam, who went u p t o L awes and ran level with him for 20 yards. Just at this period Lawes looked back two or three times over his shoulder, his oppo nent being on his right. On seeing Ilannam up with him he bounded away, and in 20 yards more was again quite three yards ahead. So ho kept to the end, winning a fine race, Ilannam falling exhausted after passing the judge. Had Slocock started and made the pace better, it would have improved Lewes's chance, as he had to run almost the entire race by himself, which was a groat disadvantage; but it must also, in fairness, bo mentioned that Ilannam was "a little off," and as to Thornton, he was " dead amiss." The race created great excitement, and was run in min, 56 sec., the last lap, 26 yards less than a quarter of a mile, only occupying 51 secs. STEEPLECHASE overabout two miles of fair hunting country, G. Garnett, Trinity, Cambridge 1 It. E. Webster, Trinity, Cambridge 2 C. B. Clive, Balliol, Oxford 3 J. Wood, Pembroke, Oxford 4 A. Grant, Trinity, Oxford P. M. Thornton, Jesus, Cambridge 'rho last-named gentleman did not start. Mr. Grant took the lead and kept it to the rails, where the floods wore out, but there they all got tolerably close together. In going along the bottom to the " legitimate" water jump Mr. Garnett took a commanding lead, following his colleague. and they kept increasing their distance, both running together. About two fields from home they began to race for "the pride of place," the victory of Cambridge being, bar accident," beyond a doubt. 111 r. Webster fell at the last hedge but ono, and his friendly competitor, who jumped very beautifully throughout, got a lead of 20 yards. The same distance divided them after flying the iron fence, and though Mr. Webster put on a dashing spurt in the straight run up to the Pavilion, he got very little nearer to 31r. Garnett, who was very loudly and deservedly cheered on passing the judge. The third :gentleman was 200 yard& astern, and his more immediate follower 50 yards from him, very much distressed. With that race the sports con cluded. The admirable manner in which the police arrangements were carried out by Inspector Savage deserves mach com mendation. There were upwards of 4,000 persons in the enclosure, and at least double that number in the road and along the the eteeplechaao course, ~c~•~Y~~ l ~_ f ~ 'V~ ( -41. 4;1.... ; 4 41 5 1 7 v" 'a niti 'D t r PE ••••)• take the Howt by surprise. Had Davis boon a Democratic, and not a Repubnea. , mber, his opposition wouli have excited no atte. :en among S the serene incapables who form the working ma jority; hut coming from an associ'Ate rind former friend, it fell like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and suggested both to friend and foe the danger that Mr. Lincoln's persistency is desiring re-election may lead to a schism that may not only defeat his purpose, but break up the Republican party. The anti-slavery journals have not yet said a word on the subject of the extraordinary re-enslave ment of the black populati ni of Louisiana by Gen. Bantu , . It cannot be alleged that their attention has not been directed to the subject, for no less than three of the most important and influential of their number approve cordially all those portions of the document that relate to the duties of the white race in the approaching elections. The Tribune thinks Gen. 13anks entitled to special commendation for declaring that in his proconsulate indifference shall be treated as crime. "For our own part," it says— though the words seem strange in a journal that is avowedly edited by Iforaee Greeley---" we heartily approve Gen. Banks's order, and wish the rule were universal and imperativ e t h at every man en titled to a vote should vote or pay a sm ar t f ine. We have often found fault with Gen. Banks, but this order is right." The New l'ork Times (equally emphatic) asserts its belief that the doctrine of Gen. Banks is sound, and hopes that he will resolutely carry it out. Mr. Wendell Phillips, who is not a professional politician like :these writers, and is therefore not so easily led from the paths of prin ciple into those of party expediency, ignores the only portions of the general's "order" which his quondam fellow-labourers in the cause of emancipae tion have thought worthy of notice, and denounces " the man Banks, who in the third city of the em pire (it used to be called a republic) had picked up the chains of the black man which Mr. Lincoln had thrown off, and with them refastened his feet to the ground." Whisky has more than once played an important part in American politico. In the infancy of the Republic there was a " whisky insurrection" which it somewhat troubled the great Washington to sup press. Mr. Lincoln has also a whisky trouble on his hands, which threatens to bring him into personal difficulty with some of his most cordial friends and supporters. It was known to the world before the assembling of Congress that Mr. Chase would be compelled by the necessities of Lis financial position to make an effort, more or less statesmanlike, to raise a larger revenue from taxation than he had yet succeeded in drawing into the Treasury. It was known, however, to none but a very select few that ho would propose a considerable increase of the whisky duties. These few formed themselves into what is called a " ring," and bought up cautiously at low prices the whole stock of whisky and other spirituous liquors in the country, with the exception of the comparatively small quantity in the hands of the retail dealers. The quantity thus purchased was equal, it is reported, to no lees than two years' cone sumption. When the bill increasing the duty to GOe. per gallon was introduced into Congress, Mr. Fernando Wood moved an amendment to the pro spective clause. He argued that, as the object of the Government in imposing the duty was to raise a revenue, that object would be defeated if the stock of whisky on hand were not subjected to the impost ; that the people would be made to pay a price during two years enhanced by the whole amount of the duty; and that not a cent of advantage would accrue to the public Treasury. He therefore moved to tax the stocks in hand, and the amendment was carried in a thin house, The whisky interest took the alarm, but soon recovered its lost equanimity. A select deputation of the "Ring," with unlimited greenbacks in their possession and full authority to spend them as they pleased for the advantage of the common cause, was despatched to Washington. The deputation understood its men. It knew the power of the dollar that it wielded, and the weakness of the morality that would resist it, and wrought accordingly. Dinners at Willard's and elsewhere; private parties and re-unions; earnest confabulations in quiet corners ; and an unusually full and active lobby were the results. In due course the bill reached the Senate, and that august body, forgetting for awhile how much Mr. Chase needed money, struck out tho amendment of the Lower House. But the battle was not yet won. The Senate having made an alteration, the Bill had to be returned for consent or disapproval, as the case might be. The greatest interest was forthwith ma nifested at every bar-roore, hotel, and place of public resort 5.n the national capital to know whether the representatives of the people would allow their patriotism or their cupidity to be the strongerin the contest between duty and dollars. It is presumed that dollars gained the victory, for the House re versed its former action and voted, by a majority of 77 against 73, not to tax the stock of spirits in hand. By this means, if the President do not ewer. ciao his privilege of veto, Mr. Chase will lose five millions of dollars per annum for two years ; and the ten millions thus lost to the Government will go into the pockets of the speculators who have so adroitly managed the business, at a cost of no one knows how much, but probably of less than a mil lion out of the ten. The representatives, aware that in a matter of this importance they would be liable to be called to a strict account by their constituents, would not vote by "yea" and "nay" in the usual manner, and allow their names to be :taken down, but by " tellers," or counting of heads. Conse quently no record remains of the side on which the whisky patriots voted, and no means are left of showing who was the knave and who was the honest man in this remarkable transaction. The Tribune is indignant at this barefaced job, and calls upon the President to veto the Bill, and send it back for reconsideration. It is not doubtful what course he ought, but some who do not pretend to be his ene mies appear to consider it doubtful what course he will pursue, grounding their uncertainty upon the fact that some of the whisky speculators areas Indent as th e i r own li quor i n support of Mr . Lin coin's re-election. NEW NOVEL, Edited by WILLIAM. HOWITT. Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., pE U L I A A TALE OF THE GREAT TRANSITION. R Edited by WILLIAM HOWITT.
